How to build an All-Star team

We inevitably reach a point in our business where we consider growing our team. That could be outsourcing to a contractor, or bringing in employees. This is often a difficult step - you’ve worked hard to get to where you are and the people you bring in need to align with your business so that it grows the way you want it to.In this episode, I share the key focus areas to set you up for success to build that all-star team for your business.The first of these is getting crystal clear clarity on what it is you want and need in the role. To set your team up for success, you need to take the time to get really clear on exactly what you need the person to do.Secondly, you need to be clear on what your dealbreakers are - what are your hell nos? I explain the difference between flexibility and compromise, which is important to understand when you’re applying this principle.You also need to know how performance will be measured, how you will give feedback and how you will conduct reviews. What will your key performance indicators (KPIs) be? If you don’t have KPIs, it can be very difficult to measure success.Transparency is key when you’re looking to bring someone in to elevate your business and support its continuous growth.  And in order to be transparent in a meaningful way, we need to plan.Approaching building your all-star team in this way means you’re protecting your business, complying with your legal obligations and you’re setting yourself up for success. Take the time to jot down and work through these steps when you are looking to hire. This episode contains some absolute golden nuggets and I hope it gives you food for thought if you’re new to the recruitment journey, or if you’ve been burnt and don't want to be in that position again.LINKS:Previous episodes mentioned:Ep 74 - Should you engage an employee or a contractor?Ep 75 - What you need to include in your employment agreementsJoin The Legally Empowered Entrepreneur Masterclass Series hereGet your copy of my Annual Legal Checklist hereBook a Strategy Session with me hereWebsite:    tmsolicitor.com.auInstagram:    https://www.instagram.com/tmsolicitor/
